Pantagruelion Herb

(The). Hemp; so called “because Pantagruel was the
inventor of a certain use which it serves for, exceeding hateful to
felons, unto whom it is more hurtful than strangle-weed to flax.”

“The figure and shape of the leaves are not much different from those
of the ash-tree or the agrimony, the herb itself being so like the
Eupatorio that many herbalists have called it the
`Domestic Eupatorio,' and the Eupatorio the `Wild Pantagruelion.”' —Rabelais: Pantagruel,
iii. 49.
